Marian Frances Thornhill was born November 3, 1903 to John M. Thornhill & Nancy P. C. (Nan) Sweeden Thornhill in Rains, Texas, USA.

She was dubbed Sister by her family, and was called Frances as an adult.

She met and married Willie Leroy (Bill) Barnes and they were blessed with the following children:

- Edward Barnes (1924 - ?)
- Ellen May Barnes (1925 - 1935)
- William Sidney Barnes (1928 - 1979)
- Dorothy Nan Barnes (1931 - ?)
- Lena Joyce Barnes (1936 - 1936)
- Tommy Melvin Barnes (1944 - 2009)

Frances & Bill made their home in Dallas, Texas, USA and they owned Barnes Grocery Store.

I always thought that Sister was just so beautiful. She was so graceful and pretty...somewhat quiet. I didn't get to see their family much, as she was my Mother's Aunt and they didn't come to many of the family gatherings - but, it was nice to see them when we did.

Sadly, Sister passed away on September 25, 1977 in Dallas, Dallas, Texas, USA.

Rest In Peace, Sister - My Great Aunt.
